Padres vs Guardians Preview

After splitting the first two games of the series, the Padres and Guardians are facing off in a rubber match of the three-game set.

The Padres took Friday's series opener by a score of 7-5. They were then dominated by former Padres farmhand Joey Cantillo on Saturday in a dominant 6-1 win by Cleveland.

On Sunday, the Padres are giving the ball to trade deadline addition Casey Mize, who has plenty of experience facing the Guardians from his time in the American League Central with the Detroit Tigers.

Mize faced the Guardians on May 21, allowing two runs over 6.2 innings with four strikeouts. In his career, he's faced the Guardians five times, accruing a 2.93 ERA over 27.2 innings.

Overall this season, Mize has made 18 starts, sporting a 3.38 ERA over 96 innings with 92 strikeouts. Since joining the Padres, he's made two starts, accruing a 9.64 ERA over 9.1 innings. He was much better in his second start, though, allowing two runs over six innings against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Opposite Mize will be Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee, who's 4-12 with a 2.99 ERA and 114 strikeouts across 144.1 innings this season.
